  • FCS 2 asks for serial numbers on every load up

    Posted by Eriq Wities on February 27, 2008 at 4:57 pm

    I upgraded from FCS 1 to FCS 2. Now every time I open up any FCS 2 program, I get prompted to enter in my name and serial number. Has anyone ever seen this? Any way around it? Thanks.

    UPDATE:

    I read on this thread

    https://www.emotiondv.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1193333951

    That it is likely to be related to my previous version of FCS 1 still on the system somewhere. Before I dedicate a day to wiping my OS clean and reinstalling everything, can anyone confirm that this is the solution? Does anyone have any ideas on a faster troubleshooting strategy?

    Go to Library/Application Support/Pro Apps and delete the FCP System ID. Then input your serial code after launching fcp again.

    that might work.

    That did the trick. Thanks Chris!
